FIG. 1 is an exemplary block diagram showing a main configuration of an apparatus for a driving guide of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.FIGS. 2 to 7B are exemplary views describing a method for recognizing a passage in front of the vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. - Referring to
FIGS. 1 to 7B , anapparatus 100 for a driving guide of a vehicle (hereinafter, referred to as a driving guide apparatus) according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include asensor unit 110, anoutputting unit 120, astoring unit 130, and acontroller 140. Although the exemplary embodiment of the present invention described is limited to the vehicle being driven on an expressway and obstacles are other vehicles other than the vehicle being driven, but is not necessarily limited thereto. It should be understood that the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be applied to a passage such as an alley. Moreover, although the passage used in the exemplary embodiment of the present invention means a passage formed between vehicles on the expressway, but is not necessarily limited thereto. - The
sensor unit 110 may have at least one sensor mounted within the vehicle and may be configured to provide sensing information received from the sensor to thecontroller 140. In particular, thesensor unit 110 may include a laser radar which is a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor. Since the LiDAR sensor has a substantially high recognition rate in a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction and has a substantially minimal error for adjacent obstacles, the sensor may be configured to recognize road conditions more accurately. The sensor applied to the vehicle is not limited to the LiDAR sensor and various sensors corresponding to this may be used. In addition, thesensor unit 110 may include a camera sensor (e.g., an imaging device) configured to obtain image data for the front, side, and rear of the vehicle. - The
outputting unit 120, executed by thecontroller 140, may be configured to output the image data for a current location of the vehicle and may be configured to provide a start location of a passage and a width of the passage before entering the passage to the driver when the vehicle enters the passage as shown inFIGS. 7A and 7B . Specifically,FIG. 7A shows data in which the width of the passage and left and right boundaries of a passage entrance determined, by thecontroller 140, on the road on which the vehicle is driven may be calculated, andFIG. 7B shows a screen output to theoutputting unit 120 based onFIG. 7A . Therefore, a driver may determine whether the entry into the passage is safe (e.g., whether the vehicle may enter the passage), whether attention (e.g., caution) is required when entering, or whether the entry is dangerous, and the driver may prevent an accident caused by the obstacles positioned at the front of the vehicle and the passage. - The
controller 140 may be configured to store on thestoring unit 130 the image data of the road on which the vehicle is driven, obtained by the camera sensor and a program that recognizes the passage in the road on which the vehicle is driven, and may be configured to store various programs for operating the drivingguide apparatus 100. Additionally, thecontroller 140 may be configured to sense the obstacles positioned at the front and side of the vehicle using the sensing information received from thesensor unit 110 and may be configured to arrange data for the obstacles based on an angle to determine whether the passage is present in front of the vehicle. - More specifically, the
controller 140 may be configured to analyze the sensing information received from thesensor unit 110 to sense the obstacles positioned at the front and side of the vehicle, and extract data for the sensed obstacles (hereinafter, referred to as obstacle data). Referring toFIG. 2 , thecontroller 140 may be configured to analyze the sensing information to determine that four other vehicles V2 to V5 are located in front and side of a vehicle V1. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to extract a plurality of points that configure other vehicles V2 to V5 and connect the plurality of extracted points to each other using at least one line to extract the obstacle data configured of the points and the line. InFIG. 2 , it may be determined that the obstacle data of other vehicles V3 and V4 configured of the three points and one line may be extracted and the obstacle data of other vehicles V2 and V5 configured of the three points and the two lines may be extracted based on the locations of other vehicles. - The
controller 140 may be configured to arrange the extracted obstacle data based on the angle. Referring toFIG. 3 , thecontroller 140 may be configured to arrange the extracted obstacle data based on an angle θ of a polar coordinate system. The extracted obstacle data may be arranged for the points configuring each of the other vehicles V2 to V5 and may be arranged between other vehicles V2 to V5, respectively. In particular, the polar coordinate system represents a coordinate system defining a position of any point by a distance r and a direction θ from an apex (an original point). Further, thecontroller 140 may be configured to determine whether other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle V1 based on the obstacle data and recognizes that the passage is not present in the road on which the vehicle V1 is driven when other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle V1. - Additionally, when other vehicles are not present in front of the vehicle V1 and other vehicles V2 to V5 are present in front and side of the vehicle V1 as shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 , thecontroller 140 may be configured to recognize that the passage is present on the road on which the vehicle V1 is driven. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to search for a space that has a possibility to form the passage using the arranged obstacle data as shown inFIG. 3 . A conditional expression that forms the passage recognizes, as the passage, a case when a maximum value among θ values configuring one obstacle of continuous obstacles is less than a minimum value among θ values configuring a next obstacle. Therefore, inFIG. 3 , since (θi+2)min>(θi+1)max□, the passage may be recognized between a i+1-th obstacle (V3) and a i+2-th obstacle (V4). - The
controller 140 may be configured to rotate and transform the obstacles on a reference axis which is a center angle (θi+2)min, (θi+1)max (e.g., (((θi+2)min+(θi+1)max)/2)) of the passage using two points ((θi+2)min>(θi+1)max) configuring the passage. In particular, thecontroller 140 may be configured to perform a two-dimensional rotational transformation matrix as expressed inEquation 1. -
- wherein, (θi+2)min is the angle of right end point of the left obstacles which make the passage; (θi+1)max is the angle of left end point of the right obstacles which make the passage;
-
- is the angle of the central axis of the passage; x, y are the positions of the points (x,y) in the original coordinate system; and xR, yR are the positions of the points in the rotated coordinate system.
- Further, the
controller 140 may be configured to extract one point ((xR)min, (yR)min)) that has yR of a positive number and closest to an xR axis and one point ((xR min— n, (yR)min— n)) that has yR of a negative number and closest to the xR axis based on the xR axis. This may be represented byFIG. 4 . Thecontroller 140 may be configured to calculate a width when the obstacles having yR of opposite symbols are present in a length Lf for the xR axis direction based on the extracted two points. Referring toFIG. 5 , thecontroller 140 may not configure the passage because the obstacles having yR of the positive number are not present in an interval of ((xR)min— n−0.5Lf) and ((xR)min— n+0.5Lf) in the xR axis direction for ((xR)min— n, (yR)min— n). In addition, thecontroller 140 may configure the passage because the obstacles having yR of the negative number are present in an interval of ((xR)min−0.5Lf) and ((xR)min+0.5Lf) in the axis direction for ((xR)min, (yR)min). - Furthermore, the
controller 140 may be configured to calculate the width of the passage using a difference between the yR values of the obstacles that form the passage. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to compare the calculated width of the passage and the width of the vehicle V1 to each other and divide the compared result into danger, warning, safe stages to output the result to theoutputting unit 120. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to recognize that the passage is not present on the road on which the vehicle V1 is driven when other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle V1. Referring toFIGS. 6A to 6C , thecontroller 140 may be configured recognize a space N between V6 and V7 as the passage when it is recognized that the other vehicle V6 is present in front of the vehicle V1 and the other vehicle V7 is present in front and side of the vehicle V1, as shown inFIG. 6A . This may be schematically represented byFIG. 6B . Therefore, thecontroller 140 may be configured a range of obstacles from an existing Rmax to αRmax when other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle V1, wherein α is set to any number which is less than about 1. This may be represented byFIG. 6C . By this result, thecontroller 140 may not be configured to recognize the other vehicle V6 located in front of the vehicle V1 as the obstacle. -
FIG. 8 is an exemplary flow chart for describing a method for a driving guide of a vehicle according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 8 , thecontroller 140 may be configured to analyze the sensing information received from thesensor unit 110 in S11 and sense (e.g., detect) other vehicles (obstacles) positioned at the front and side of the vehicle based on the analyzed sensing information in S13. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to extract data for the sensed obstacles in S15. In addition, thecontroller 140 may be configured to extract a plurality of points of other vehicles positioned at the front and side of the vehicle and connect the extracted points to each other using at least one line to extract the obstacle data configured of the points and the line. - Furthermore, the
controller 140 may be configured to arrange the extracted obstacle data according to the angle of the polar coordinate system in S17. In particular, thecontroller 140 may be configured to perform an arrangement for a plurality of points of one different vehicle and perform an arrangement between a plurality of other vehicles. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to determine whether the obstacles, that is, other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle in S19, may proceed to S29 when other vehicles are present in front of the vehicle, and may proceed to S27 after recognizing that the passage is not present in front of the vehicle. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to output the image data received from the camera sensor to theoutputting unit 120 and provide the driving guide to the driver in S27. Since this is described in the examples with reference toFIGS. 6A to 6C , a detailed description thereof will be omitted. - Moreover, when other vehicles are not present in front of the vehicle in S19, the
controller 140 may proceed to S21 and when the obstacles are not present in front and side of the vehicle in S21, thecontroller 140 may be configured to recognize that the passage is not present in front of the vehicle and then proceeds to S27. Thecontroller 140 may be configured to output the image data received from the camera sensor to theoutputting unit 120 and provides the driving guide to the driver in S27. Additionally, thecontroller 140 may be configured to determine whether at least two obstacles, that is, other vehicles are present in front and side of the vehicle in S21. When at least two other vehicles are present in front and side of the vehicle, thecontroller 140 may be configured to recognize a space between at least two other vehicles as the passage in S23 and may proceed to S25. Since this is described in the example with reference toFIG. 3 , a detailed description thereof will be omitted. - The
controller 140 may be configured to perform a coordinate transformation of the obstacle data and calculate a width of the space recognized as the passage in S25. Since this is described in the examples with reference to theEquation 1 andFIGS. 4 and 5 , a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Further, thecontroller 140 may be configured to compare the width of the passage calculated in S25 and the width of the vehicle and divide the compared result into the danger, warning, safe stages to output the compare result to theoutputting unit 120 in S27. This may be represented byFIG. 7B . - As set forth above, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the obstacles present in front of the vehicle on the road on which the vehicle is driven may be sensed and the start location of the passage and the width of the passage may be provided to a driver before the vehicle enters the passage, such that the driver may prevent an accident caused by the obstacles and the passage located in front of the vehicle.
- Hereinabove, the apparatus and the method for the driving guide of the vehicle according to the exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed in the present specification and the accompanying drawings and specific terms have been used, but are just used in a general mean in order to easily describe the technical content of the present invention and assist in understanding the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention.
